A crowd-pleasing, finger-licking BBQ sauce. Use as a glaze for chicken, pork chops or ribs, a dipping sauce for chips, or grilled veggies or mix it with mayonnaise for a great burger sauce.

Prep:   5 mins 

Cook:   15 mins, plus time to cool

Serves:  4 

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. 
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic until tender. 
  3. Stir in ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. 
  4. Cook for a few minutes to thicken sauce.

For a spicer sauce add more cayenne and chilli powder or if you prefer a sweeter, stickier sauce add more paprika and sugar.
